To run farther and faster, it’s essential to get in the habit of warming up properly and including dynamic stretching in your warm-up routine.
Dynamic Stretching
What is Dynamic Stretching? When should we perform dynamic stretches?
Dynamic Stretching is simply moving multiple joints and muscles to get the body moving and the blood flowing. These help runners avoid certain injuries and they help improve performance during those training runs. You’ll definitely see these movements in any Marathon Training Plan (if not most!). Perform dynamic stretches before setting out for that long run to avoid injuries and enhance those running mechanics. We all want to look perfect while we run while also running our strongest and fastest, don’t we?!
